A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 4

She printed the agreement and signed her name on it without hesitation. Then, she took the agreement downstairs to find Cedric.

She couldn’t find him. The maid said he had left from the backdoor. Natalie’s heart sank.

She had to divorce Cedric today; she couldn’t wait a moment longer.

She faxed the agreement to her company. When the secretary saw the header on the document, she stammered, “M-madam, Mr. Johnson hasn’t arrived yet.”

“When he arrives at the company, have him sign it immediately. Ask him to bring the agreement to the clerk’s office once he’s done. I’ll be there.”

“Y-yes, ma’am!”

Even through the phone line, Natalie could sense the secretary breaking into a cold sweat. She hung up the phone and went upstairs to change her clothes.

Natalie looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn’t deny that she was beautiful, but…

It didn’t mean men would stay faithful just because a woman was beautiful!

As the saying goes, the grass was always greener on the other side!

After an appropriate amount of time had passed, Natalie drove to the clerk’s office. She waited for a full two hours. It was almost closing time, but he still hadn’t shown up.

She took out her phone and video called Cedric.

It wasn’t until the very end that he finally picked up. Seeing the projection behind the man, she knew he was in a conference room.

Natalie got straight to the point, not bothering to preserve his dignity, “I’ve been waiting for you at the clerk’s office for two hours. Are you not satisfied with the terms of the divorce settlement?”

On the other end of the phone call, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly turned ice-cold.

All eyes around the long conference table were fixed on Cedric, who had a grave look on his face.

Natalie wanted a divorce?! And she wanted to divide their assets?

Just a glance at the man’s ice-cold eyes had everyone else immediately lowering their heads as if they hadn’t heard a thing.

But this news was truly explosive!

It left a thunderous mark on everyone’s mind.

“Take a thirty-minute break.” The man said and stood up, adjusting his tie with an air of irritation.

He looked like he was about to beat up the woman on the other side of the line.

As soon as he left the conference room, the room exploded into discussion.

“Mrs. Johnson actually asked for a divorce?”

“I didn’t expect such a gentle woman to blow up like this.”

“Isn’t that playing right into Ms. Morgan’s hands?”

The discussions in the conference room continued in hushed tones. Meanwhile, Natalie was growing impatient on the line with Cedric.
